Aircon gas refill in Northcliff
A sealed air conditioner does not use its refrigerant up. Refrigerant circulates in a closed loop and is not consumed by running the unit, so a system that is low has lost refrigerant through a joint, a flare, a valve or a crack in a coil. That is the single most useful thing to know before booking a regas. Northcliff climbs the ridge west of Johannesburg, and many of its homes step down the slope.
A proper regas starts with the pressures and temperatures, then a leak test on the joints and the coil. A found leak is repaired, the system is pressure-tested again, and only then is it evacuated and charged to the maker's specification by weight. Evacuation is the step that quietly gets skipped, and leaving moisture and air in the loop is how a compressor is damaged over the months that follow. In Northcliff an outdoor unit is often mounted high on a wall or on a stand above a drop, which makes access part of the job.
Getting a quote in Northcliff
Ask what the price includes and whether a leak test is part of it. Ask which refrigerant the unit takes, because the data plate names it and it is a maker's specification rather than a preference. Published Johannesburg guides describe the regas band and the work behind it (source: The Handyman Johannesburg). A condenser in Northcliff that cannot be safely reached will be serviced less often than it should be.

Frequently asked questions
Can the unit just be topped up?
It can, but filling a system that is still leaking is a short-term answer. The contractor should test for a leak first.
How often does an aircon need gas?
A sound, sealed system should not need a refill. If it has lost refrigerant, it has a leak, and the leak is the job.
Do you do the regas yourselves?
No. This website connects you with independent contractors who test, repair and charge the system, and are responsible for it.
